Hi! My name is Amanda Gierke (Mrugacz). I have grown up singing and performing and enjoy teaching my passion to students of all ages. I graduated from Elmhurst College in 2013 with a Communications degree. While at Elmhurst, I participated in various vocal groups, including the College’s internationally acclaimed vocal jazz ensemble, Late Night Blues. Along with my extensive background in jazz studies, I was trained classically and especially enjoy singing and performing the genres of pop, rock and country.
I taught voice lessons at El Rey Music Center in Arlington Heights for the past several years and have recently relocated to the western suburbs where I now teach out of my home studio in Sugar Grove.
I am passionate about teaching and tailor each lesson to the student‘s abilities and interests and am committed to ensuring they develop and maintain proper and healthy technique.
